This article provides a feminist reflection on current neoliberal macro level economic policies in Africa and how they affect women’s lives. The writer argues that current definitions of women’s economic empowerment are too narrow to offer impactful strategies.

Ms. Simeoni argues that current neoliberal macroeconomic frameworks will continue to exacerbate the problem.
